The Seventh Devil, [Bethany]

On the other side...

Upon learning of Admiral Kizaru's appearance, the Big Mom Pirates evacuated, each using mirrors to travel through space and reunite with Charlotte Brûlée Devil Fruit User.

At this moment, in the mirror space.

This is an extraordinary alternate dimension, with a maze-like corridor and mirrors hanging everywhere on the walls.

Each of these mirrors corresponds to a specific mirror in the real-world town of Dressrosa.

You're back?

Charlotte Brûlée looks like an old witch, and her laugh is even more terrifying. "Waaaaaah... Cracker, what a disgrace, to be caught so easily."

"Brûlée, I'm two years older than you, you should call me brother."

With Perospero's help, Cracker was freed from the Seastone shackles, and the feeling of weakness in his body finally subsided.

"Hmph, I only have one brother Katakuri."

Brûlée gave a soft hum, then turned to the silent Lola, "Mom is very angry with you. You'll be severely punished when you get home."

"I know you don't need to worry about me running away again, after all..."

Lola sighed, feeling sad about her future.

Her shadow was still in Moria's hands. Now that she was being taken back, even escaping was a pipe dream. If she were exposed to sunlight, she might die at any moment.

As for... hoping that her mother will send someone to retrieve the shadow from Moria for her?

This is simply impossible!

Without her shadow, she's easier to control, and her mother might even verbally thank Moria a few times.

Such a future is worse than staying on the ship of the Seven Deadly Sins.

"Why don't you kidnap me again!"

Lola's inner monologue.

At this moment, Katakuri walked over and said to the crowd with a cold expression:

"The Seven Deadly Sins' Wrath is holding Kizaru back. We need to leave this island as soon as possible. Once Kizaru is free, it will be very difficult to leave!"

In the New World, somewhere in the sea, above a sea of clouds thousands of meters above sea level.

Sigma transformed back into his dragon form and scratched his head at the vast expanse of white clouds.

"Where am I? Where's the boat? Am I lost?"

Damn it, these people just abandoned him.

Sigma was speechless. Even if he could fly, he still didn't know the way.

"Ain? Is Ain there?"

He shouted a few times, but there was no response.

Left with no other option, Sigma had to choose a possible direction to fly in.

"If I fly a little higher, I should be able to see the Red Line. This little problem won't stump me!"

That evening.

With the help of wind propulsion from Ain, the Wave-Breaking Warrior reduced its journey from several days to just over ten hours.

Upon arriving near the Red Line, Big Eye activated his ability, teleporting himself back to the Sabaody Archipelago.

Inside the hotel.

Dimon, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. A flash of white light appeared in front of him, and a paper airplane carrying two Devil Fruit suddenly appeared.

Having teleported such a long distance in one go, Big Eye seemed somewhat exhausted. He stopped on the table and put down the two fruits.

"Master, the mission is complete."

"Thank you for your hard work, you did a great job."

Dimon got up, walked over, smiled and offered some encouragement, before picking up one of the Devil Fruit.

This fruit is black and white, with a common spiral pattern on the surface of its skin, and its overall shape is somewhat flat and round.

Unfamiliar fruit.

We'll have to wait until after the Animation to have the person introduce themselves to find out the specifics.

Before taking action, Dimon took a watercolor painting from a drawer.

"This is a portrait I commissioned from a painter for 100,000 Beli. You'll be getting a physical transformation based on this image later, understand?"

Dimon placed the portrait on the table, gave an instruction to the Devil Fruit in his hand, and then activated his power.

Animation!

In an instant, a layer of pale golden light enveloped the Devil Fruit, which began to expand and gradually transformed into human form after being released from the hand.

Dimon watched with anticipation as his newborn sibling was born.

Chapter 71 The Seventh Demon, [Bethany] (Please continue reading)

This transformation process is somewhat similar to the initial Animation of Mammon; the Devil Fruit is changing into a human form.

Dimon watched expectantly, but gradually, the person's appearance was completely different from the portrait he had prepared.

Moment.

When the hazy golden light faded, the creature that appeared before him was indeed "human," but it did not simply have a human appearance.

He was tall and slender, with the appearance of a young boy, short, light silver-gray hair, a pair of black, erect ears standing up from his hair, and a fluffy gray tail behind him.

"Hello, Master. Have you eaten?"

Dimon: "..."

This isn't what I expected!

Unconvinced, he picked up the easel, examined the portrait carefully, and after a long silence, pointed at it and said:

"Look at yourself now, how do you resemble this portrait at all?!"

"Isn't it very similar, Master?" The wolf boy looked at Dimon with the clear eyes of a college student. "They both have two legs, two arms, and one head."

This new recruit is an idiot!

On the table to the side, Big Eye was using the wings of a paper airplane to prop up his forehead.

He looked at the portrait in his master's hand; it looked completely different, entirely different.

The portrait depicts a human woman, dressed in a pure white dress, appearing to be around eighteen years old, with long, straight black hair and delicate features.

Even if Big Eye were a demon, he could understand that, by human standards of beauty, the young woman in the portrait should be considered very beautiful.

If this beautiful woman were put at a black market auction in the Sabaody Archipelago, she could fetch at least 5 million, which is more than ten times the price of a typical human slave.

"... Why."

Dimon sighed, at a loss for what to do with the new idiot.

This wolf boy didn't seem very bright, let alone clever. Could it be that his "Seven Deadly Sins Yin-Yang Balance Plan" was doomed?

Don't panic, there's still one Devil Fruit!

However, we've used up all our attempts for today, so we'll have to wait until after midnight.

Dimon shook his head. "I admit, you and the portrait do look like 'humans,' both with two arms, two legs, and a head, but your head..."

At this point, he looked disgusted and said, "Why a dog's head?"

"Ah?"

The wolf boy stroked his dog head and said in confusion, "Master, I am Zoan Dog-Dog Fruit, Ancient Zoan Snowfield Ice Wolf form. This is a wolf head."

It's called the Dog-Dog Fruit, so what else could it be but a dog?

Dimon was speechless. A humanoid creature with a dog's head—was that supposed to be a dog-headed person?

That said, there are many races in the world of One Piece, but I've never heard of kobolds.

There are indeed Mink Tribe.

The members of this race live in the land of Zou, on the back of a giant elephant, where various humanoid creatures with some animal characteristics exist.

Such as lions, cats, rabbits, and dogs.

"Given your situation, from now on you should just call yourself a Mink Tribe," Dimon said after a moment's thought. "As for your name... Lycaon."

"Thank you, Master, for bestowing this name upon me!"

Overjoyed to have received a name and life, Lycaon patted his belly and cried out, "Master, I'm hungry!"

As expected of someone born in the Year of the Dog, all they know is eating. Devil Fruit even has a concept of causing hunger?

Dimon thought of Mammon, who was also Zoan Devil Fruit user. Mammon never needed to eat, and even if he did eat human food, it was just for show.

He pulled a room key from his pocket and tossed it to Lycaon.

"This is my hotel room key. You can use it to eat at the restaurant downstairs as much as you want; they'll put it on your tab."

Then, he instructed Big Eye, "From now on, you will lead all non-title-level demons. You will be their captain, and Lycaon will be under your command."

"Understood, Master!"

He got promoted!

Big Eye got excited and immediately adopted a senior's attitude towards Lycaon, "My name is Big Eye, and I'll be your captain from now on, puppy. Come with me, I'll take you to the restaurant."

"I am not a dog, I am a wolf! Snowfield Ice Wolf!"

Lycaon grumbled in dissatisfaction, but ultimately succumbed to the hunger pangs and followed Big Eye out of the room.

The Big Eye landed on his shoulder, disguised as an ordinary paper airplane, and gave him a warning before he left.

"You're Mink Tribe, not Snowfield Ice Wolf, remember that! You idiot!"

"Oh, I see, Big Eye senior."

Of all things, food is the most important, and Lycaon complied with his captain's wishes.

Dimon watched the two leave, and only after the door closed did he turn his gaze to another Devil Fruit on the table.

This fruit bears some resemblance to the "Flower-Flower Fruit" he is familiar with; both are pink and resemble rosebuds in appearance.

"Could it be Paramecia Fruit related to flowers?"

He remembered Perospero mentioning that the Big Mom Pirates only had one Devil Fruit, and they needed to steal the other one.

The fruit that was stolen is probably the Inu Dog-Dog Fruit, Ancient Zoan Snowfield Ice Wolf form.

The fruit before them was the one they themselves owned and intended to reward their family members.

"Given the Charlotte Family's style, this fruit's power is most likely related to desserts or something similar."

Dimon had a guess in his heart.

Most of the members of the Charlotte Family possess abilities of this type, though some do not.

For example, Mont-d'Or, the user of the Book-Book Fruit in the previous Dressrosa Island battle, does not belong to this category.

Thinking of this person, Dimon couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

The Book-Book Fruit possesses spatial abilities; if it could Animation, it would undoubtedly be a formidable fighting force comparable to the Storyboard Fruit. Unfortunately, it has already been eaten.

"I hope this fruit will bring me some surprises."

Dimon glanced at the wall clock; there were still more than three hours until midnight.

Immediately, he sat cross-legged and continued his Haki cultivation, sensing that he was about to achieve enlightenment.

Time flew by, and as soon as midnight struck, Dimon immediately opened his eyes, preparing to Animation the second Devil Fruit.

This time, he was much more cautious.
